Pakistan Affairs: module plan (revised 19 October 2026)
🇵🇰
Pakistan Affairs is now organised into 8 modules on the hub page, so the Monday half-day follows the modules instead of the old syllabus numbers I to XXVIII. Every syllabus point is still covered, because each module page lists the points it contains.
The time is shared according to how often each module has been asked from 2014 to 2026. Module 2 (23 questions) and Module 1 (19 questions) get two Mondays each, and Module 3 (15 questions) gets a Monday and a half. The other modules get one Monday each, or share one.
Modules 6, 7 and 8 now get separate Mondays in W8, W9 and W10. Cover all remaining sub-pages; use priority labels to allocate depth and practice, not to omit syllabus topics.
